For Kalen DeBoer, making his SEC conference coaching debut with Alabama football means there’s a lot on the line.

The fourth-ranked Crimson Tide (3-0, 0-0 SEC) are set to compete against Kirby Smart’s top-ranked Bulldogs (3-0, 1-0) tonight at 7:30 p.m. from Nick Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Under the direction of former coach Nick Saban and quarterback Jalen Milroe, Alabama edged out Georgia 27-24 in last year’s SEC Championship.

The previous season’s defeat for the Bulldogs meant they missed out on the 4-team College Football Playoffs, while Alabama continued to the Rose Bowl to face Michigan. With the expanded SEC and a 12-team playoff format this year, this match holds major implications, positioning the victor favorably for a playoff bid. Both teams are returning from a bye week in Week 4.

Predictions for Alabama vs Georgia

Colin Gay, Tuscaloosa News: Georgia 27, Alabama 24

“DeBoer’s initial encounter with Georgia will resemble Nick Saban’s first match against the Bulldogs in 2007. Georgia’s turnover-prone, bend-but-don’t-break defense won’t give Milroe and Alabama ample opportunities for mistakes. Although Milroe and the offense may shine at times, it won’t suffice for Alabama to secure its first SEC victory in 2024.

Brad Crawford, 247 Sports: Alabama 30, Georgia 29

“This contest is crucial for both squads as they aim for the SEC Championship, yet neither team will face total despair if they lose. Both should still have a shot at the College Football Playoff. Georgia’s impressive 42-game regular-season winning streak is at risk due to tough upcoming road games against top 10 teams. I believe in Kirby Smart‘s ability to devise a solid defensive strategy against Jalen Milroe this time around, but Georgia’s offense, led by Carson Beck, has shown inconsistencies which are concerning. I believe Kalen DeBoer will achieve a signature win in September.

Marc Weiszer, Athens Banner-Herald: Alabama 24, Georgia 23

“This matchup could go either way. Georgia possesses the stronger defense, but Alabama gets the edge due to the home-field advantage and the presence of the two most explosive offensive playmakers on the field.”
